Songs that are just too short
by Nightjar Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:16 pm
This is the thread where you can post those lovely songs that just seem to stop unceremoniously or fade out way way too soon. 
Of course sometimes a really good song is all the more bittersweet for its aching brevity and those can be posted here too, but, anyway, I just noticed this song in my Itunes that I loved as a very small child and noticed that it's absurdly short and fades out in the most desultory fashion imaginable.
It deserves at least another 30-60 seconds with a more drawn out fade out of lush strings and lush chords.
I actually think that this song informed my still forming mind (four years old or so) about chords, chord shifts and chord sequences that just deliciously work.

I've always thought this was too short by a couple of minutes. Only when I accidentally ended up on a porn shoot on a yacht in a Sardinian cove, dancing with an 86 year old man wearing a white thong (him not me), did it really hit home just how short it is.

Above the Clouds by ELO. It's only two minutes long.

Pink Floyd would have got an entire side of an album out of it.

Whispers and Moans by Crowded House. Around three minutes in, you expect it to go back into the verse for another couple of minutes' worth of song but, instead, it just goes into a randomly thrown-in Lennony ending bit that quickly fades out.
